Even more of a good thing.

Sunseeker has been raising the bar on yacht design for years, and for 2021 it’s dropping jaws all over again with its remarkable new 55 EVO — a luxurious, high-performance cruising yacht that’s perfectly sized for the Great Lakes.

“The fit and finish of the new 55 EVO is next- generation Sunseeker,” says Ron Silvia, VP of sales at Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales. “All the fine appointments and detailing are extremely well thought out, and the upgraded power package improves the yacht’s performance and speed to beyond sporty levels.”
That power package includes twin 725-hp Volvo Penta D11 diesels, which power this yacht to top speeds of over 33 knots, while still delivering a range of over 200 miles with impressive fuel economy. And it does this all in total luxury. Twin facing sofas in the cockpit surround an elegant table, creating the ideal spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The wide salon doors open fully, allowing the cockpit and salon to flow together seamlessly for the ultimate entertaining space. For even more natural light and fresh air, pop the overhead moonroof in the carbon fiber top and you can open up the entire boat.
The sculpted, low-slung furniture and contemporary fittings throughout the boat reflect Sunseeker’s EVO interior concept, giving the yacht a modern, clean and inviting look. That’s echoed in the neatly sculpted helm, with its focus on ergonomics and comfort. A raised seating area opposite invites the entire family to enjoy the forward view when underway.
The large galley is situated below to preserve salon space on the main deck. Open overhead, fresh air and natural light flood the galley and its facing lower salon. Just aft of the galley is the full-beam master suite, which features high ceilings, a spacious ensuite and huge privacy windows. Guests enjoy a forward VIP cabin with its own ensuite, oversized windows and double skylights overhead.
